The modern-day Salafiyyah, or Salafiyyism, or the Da’wah Salafiyyah has done much to highlight the Sunna of the prophet (SAWS), and its importance. However, in the process of spreading the new ideology of, “The modern-day Salafiyyah, many of its proponents have perhaps unintentionally made casualties out of the very persons for whom the so-called “da’wah Salafiyyah” was intended. Get it today at the link below or go to imamluqman.com.
Excerpts: “For many practicing Muslims, Salafiyyah is a bitter dose of questionable medicine. No one committed to this religion rejects the Salaf as-Saalih or the principles on which they agreed. However, the Salafis and their modern-day da’wah do not suit the tastes of all the righteous. Too much of their methodology revolves around character assassination, claims of monopoly on Allah’s guidance, a fanatical obsession with uncovering the faults of the Muslim”.
Another Excerpt: [Salafiyyism as presented by its modern-day adherents is not a simple methodology; it is a myriad of ideals, slogans and tendencies which burdens the average Muslim with understanding complex issues of theology, jurisprudence, exegesis, hadith methodology, language etc. It effectively abrogates the simplicity of tawheed and gradual assimilation of the Quran and Sunna, and replaces it with unreasonable demands of immediate perfection] -Imam Luqman Ahmad.

I’ve been looking for something like this, NOT that I would like to demonize any of our brothers and sisters in Islam but so many ideas behind a certain methodology of salafi’s discourages a believer from dhikr for example and leaves the believers hopeless in Allah’s mercy. I just purchased your book on Kindle
looking forward to reading your thoughts.

The real issue with the so-called Salafis (Wahhabis) is their blasphemous corporeal belief that Allah is a giant object with organs and limbs and a smiling face.

You guys are totally being mislead its a Huge diffrence Between calling to Quran & Sunnah upon the understanding of the companions (salafiayah) and Ignorant Niggas excuse my French its Oviously our people have deeply rooted issues however its not fair to charicterize a Dawah with the actions of a few people …this book is full of sterio types and example of of individuals salafis are not Black or white or Arab they are Belivers who follow Islam Upon the understanding of the sahaba and those who follow them , Men are to be judged by the truth the truth is not to be judged by men….

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. It seems apparent by your comment, that you have not fully read the book. There is a difference in calling to Islam, which is what the Prophet (SAWS) called to, and calling to an invented slogan (salafiyyah) that we find none of our scholars from the past ever calling people to. Being a Muslim and following the methodology of the salaf is one thing. Calling yourself a salafi and then judging the people by your newly invented title is something completely different. The reputable scholars of Islam; Ibn Kathir, Imam Shaafi’ee, Ibn Rajab, Imam an-Nawawi, Jalaaluddin as-Suyuti, Sufyaan ath-Thawri, Abdullah ibn al-Mubaarik, as-Shawkaani, and others, did not go around calling themselves salafi, and saying that they are saved. There are eight doors of paradise; none of them are having reported to have the name salafiyyah on it. There were over 100,000 companions of the Prophet (SAWS) according to Ibn Hajar al-Asqalaani, Ibn Abdul-Birr and others, and they differed on many points. In fact, the sahaba differed upon hundreds of issues. Any Muslim would be hard pressed to follow all of them in every matter. At the end of the day, it is Islam that we call to, and it is Muslims that we call ourselves, and any new terminology that people want to come up with, and call it the only truth, or the absolute truth, or the only path, then they are free to do so. If you are secure in proclaiming yourself a salafi, and calling to salafiyyah, then al-humdu lillah, be secure in that, and let your heart rest upon it. However, let us be reminded about the questions we will face in the grave; who is your Lord? What is your religion? And who is that man (The Prophet (SAWS)), and there is no mention of salafiyyah in any of that. The truth of the matter is this: “Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says, “I am among the Muslims” [41:33] Wal Allahul Musta’aan.
